‘Daredevil’ Season 3 Confirmed to Solve Murdock Family Mystery

Marvel’s Daredevil can’t be “Born Again” without the woman who gave birth in the first place. Following a Defenders tease, Season 3 of Marvel’s fearless vigilante has cast Matt Murdock’s famous mother and reassured the family reunion will take place later this year.

You’re warned of Defenders finale spoilers from here on out, but the final moments seemingly confirmed that Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock would be nursed back to health by “Maggie,” a nun who happens to share his mother’s name. Now, Borgias alum Joanne Whalley has landed the role (Marvel’s release doesn’t mention the familial connection), though both the finale tease and Maggie’s appearance nod toward famous comic Daredevil arc “Born Again.”
